- neotek 5y agoSome people on HN start their link indexes at 1, some start them at 0. I, an intellectual, start them at -1.

- jerf 5y agoI don't really have a hard time believing that running a used game store in what is clearly not the best part of town over the course of a couple decades would produce Gord's stories. As the phrase goes, shit happens. Nothing interesting may happen on a normal day but there's a lot of days and eventually you roll up all manner of interesting occurrences.
